Benjamin Leroux Blagny, La Piece Sous le Bois, 1er Cru [En Primeur] 2022

14% abv

Vol- 75cl

This comes from the same vineyard that produces Ben’s Meursault. As with the white, Ben is building his position whenever he can. Why Blagny? In the best years it can make some of the most individual wines of Burgundy – lean, powerful, understated and intensely mineral. Warmer summers are now adding a further layer of downy comfort.

“The 2022 Blagny la Piece Sous Le Bois 1er Cru has a lively nose, black cherries, bilberry fruit, and great tension and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy and quite smooth, with red cherries and a pinch of black pepper towards the finish. I prefer the nose to the mouth at the moment, but that might change.” 88-90 points. Neal Martin, Vinous, Oct 2023

Having created a name for himself as regisseur (general manager) of Domaine du Comte Armand in Pommard, Benjamin Leroux established, with English backing, a small negociant business based in Beaune since 2007. The range is confined to the Cote d’Or, from Chassagne-Montrachet to Gevrey-Chambertin, with the intention of developing farming contracts or indeed purchasing vineyards in the future.

The possibilities are very exciting for this exceptionally talented vigneron. Benjamin is a master at delivering purity of fruit alongside a seamless texture in his wines which have only the subtlest influence of oak. One of Benjamin’s favourite locations for white wine vineyards is the border between Auxey-Duresses and Meursault, which is where Les Vireuils can be found. Here the natural weight of Meursault is enhanced by the fresher minerality typical of the side valley of Auxey-Duresses.
